Robert Pattinson Joins Queen of the Desert (sadly not a Priscilla sequel)

August 15, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Robert Pattinson is busy awkwardly doing press for the US release of Cosmopolis and trying to avoid questions about him and Kristen Stewart. He’s also looking to the future as Variety reports he has signed on to star in Queen of the Desert for writer-director Werner Herzog.

Naomi Watts is attached to star as British writer Gertrude Bell in this biopic. The story chronicles her entire life from being one of the first women to graduate from Oxford to her adventures as a writer, explorer, cartographer, archaeologist, and political attaché.

Pattinson will portray T.E. Lawrence, the British officer whose story served as the basis for director David Lean’s 1962 classic Lawrence of Arabia. Lawrence and Bell were longtime friends, who both helped establish the Hashemite dynasties in Jordan and Iraq. Filming is scheduled to begin this autumn.

Kristen Stewart Out Of Snow White Sequel, It’ll Concentrate On The Huntsman Instead

August 15, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Kristen Stewart isn’t haven’t a good time of it at the moment. After news of her affair with married Snow White And The Hunstman director Rupert Sanders broke, it was clear that at least one of them would have to go from the planned sequel, if only to avoid endless negative press.

Well it appears it’s Kristen who’s gotten the boot, and Universal is now moving forward on a new spin-off that focuses only on Chris Hemsworth’s Huntsman, with Kristen Stewart being left by the wayside.

David Koepp was hired in April to craft the sequel. Sources indicate that the studio is buying him out of his contract, since this newly altered project is vastly different than the one he had been hired to write. One insider believes that Rupert Sanders will return to direct, although that is not set in stone yet.

Universal’s original plan was to feature two movies with both Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth’s characters, before creating a spin-off with just the Huntsman. They are currently seeking a new writer, with hopes to start shooting by next July. (Source: THR)

Deadfall Trailer – First look at Eric Bana & Olivia Wilde’s snowy new thriller

August 14, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Eric Bana likes being a tortured soul, and it appears that’s going to continue in his new movie, Deadfall. In the film, siblings Addison (Eric Bana) and Liza (Olivia Wilde) are on the run from a casino heist gone wrong. When a car accident leaves their wheel man and a state trooper dead, they split up and make a run for the Canadian border in the worst of circumstances – a near whiteout blizzard. While Addison heads cross-country, creating mayhem in his wake, Liza is picked up by ex-boxer Jay (Charlie Hunnam), en-route for a Thanksgiving homecoming with his parents, June (Sissy Spacek) and retired sheriff Chet (Kris Kristofferson). It’s there the siblings are reunited in a terse and thrilling showdown that pushes the bonds of family to the limit.

End Of Watch Red Band Trailer – The Jake Gyllenhaal cop drama gets expletive laden

August 14, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jake Gyllenhaal is certainly trying out a new look in End Of Watch, with his hair completely shaved off as he goes cop and heads out onto the mean streets. The film stars Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena as two LAPD cops who take pride in their work and friendship, but one day see their lives come under even more threat than usual. The new Red Band trailer suggests the movie is going to try and put you in thick of the action, almost like it’s a documentary. The film is out in the UK on November 23rd, 2012.

Richard Dreyfuss Joins Jason Priestley’s Directorial Debut, Cas & Dylan

August 14, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

We haven’t seen much of Jason Priestley in the last few years. He’s popped up in guest roles on TV shows like Psych and Haven and took the lead role in the series Call Me Fitz. Now he’s decided to go behind the camera, to direct his first theatrical movie, Cas & Dylan.

It’s not his first directorial outing, as he’s helmed numerous episodes of TV shows and a few television movies. Now its seems he’s got enough practise in to go to cinemas, and THR reports he’s got Richard Dreyfuss onboard to star.

Dreyfuss will play Dr. Cas Pepper, a dying man whose plans to check out on his own terms, but takes a reluctant detour when he winds up on the lam with a young woman, played by Tatiana Maslany. The Canadian indie movie is working from a script by Jessie Gabe (Being Erica).

Christoph Waltz Up For Terry Gilliam’s Zero Theorem

August 14, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It’s been three years since Terry Gilliam’s last movie, The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus, hit cinemas. It now looks like he’s finally ready to return with a new movie, as Deadline reports that Gilliam has snagged Christoph Waltz to star in The Zero Theorem.

It would appear to be a great mix of actor and director for a film set in ‘an Orwellian corporate world where “mancams” serve as the eyes of a shadowy figure known only as Management’. Waltz will play Qohen Leth, an eccentric and reclusive computer genius plagued with existential angst who works on a mysterious project aimed at discovering the purpose of existence – or the lack thereof – once and for all.

His work is interrupted now and then by surprise visits from Bainsley, a flamboyantly lusty love interest, and Bob, the rebellious whiz-kid teenage son of Management. But these visits turn out to be intentional diversions orchestrated by Management to keep control of Qohen’s progress.

It sounds like a suitably weird premise for a Gilliam movie, with more than a few shades of Brazil. While Gilliam’s movie have a horrible habit of falling to bits, this one looks a little more secure than most as pre-production has already started in Romania, with plans to start shooting on October 22nd.

Screenwriter Billy Ray Takes On Sinatra Biopic

August 14, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

For several years now Martin Scorsese has been slowly putting together a biopic of Frank Sinatra. That project is now moving on again, as screenwriter Billy Ray (The Hunger Games) has signed on to rewrite the script for the Universal Pictures movie.

The first news on the project came back in May 2009, when Phil Alden Robinson (Field Of Dream) was attached to write the screenplay, after producers Peter Guber and Cathy Schulman secured the life and music rights from Frank Sinatra Enterprises. The story will follow the crooner from his upbringing in Hoboken, New Jersey to his career in Hollywood where he sold millions of records as a singer and won an Oscar in 1953 for his role in From Here to Eternity.

Martin Scorsese is currently directing The Wolf of Wall Street, starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The filmmaker hasn’t officially committed to his next directorial project yet, although this could be next if the script comes together. (Source: Deadline)

Eric Bana Up For Peter’s Berg’s Navy SEAL Drama Lone Survivor

August 14, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Eric Bana is in talks to join the increasingly starry cast of Lone Survivor for Universal Pictures and director Peter Berg (Battleship), according to Variety.

The project is based on Marcus Luttrell’s non-fiction book, describing how he and his Navy SEAL team survived after being ambushed in the Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan in 2005.

Mark Wahlberg is attached to portray Luttrell, with Ben Foster, Taylor Kitsch, and Emile Hirsch playing the other Navy SEAL’s. No details are known for Bana’s character.

Peter Berg is directing from his own screenplay, adapted from Marcus Luttrell’s book. Shooting is scheduled to begin September 25 in New Mexico (a much safer place to film than actually going to Afghanistan).

Clint Eastwood, Harrison Ford & Nicolas Cage Wanted For Expendables 3

August 14, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The Expendables 2 is set to close the summer movie season with a bang when it’s released later this week. With that film already in the can, the producers are already looking to the future and The Expendables 3.

Producer Avi Lerner has been talking to Total Film and told them that they are going after even more big names in the potential follow-up, “We’ve approached Clint Eastwood to be one of the guys, we’ve got a character in mind for him. We’re talking to Harrison Ford. [And we want] Wesley Snipes when he comes back from prison. I’ll give you one more name, we’ve got Nicolas Cage to play [one of the characters]. And we’re going to bring Mickey Rourke back, if he won’t be too crazy. I like Mickey. And of course, all the existing stars [will return].”

It isn’t known if Sylvester Stallone is writing the screenplay for this third installment, although it seems they definitely have some new characters worked out. If The Expendables 2 director Simon West returns, he will reunite with Nicolas Cage, who starred in his 1997 action-thriller Con Air, and the filmmaker’s upcoming Stolen, debuting in cinemas later this year.

While it seem Cage has already agreed, I reckon Lerner will be very lucky to get Eastwood and Ford, who are incredibly picky about they’re projects. Eastwood in particular hardly makes any movie any more as an actor, and it’s tough to imagine he’ll agree to this.
